'Incredibly Fortunate': Dead Boy Detectives Star Ruth Connell Talks About Working And Embracing Motherhood At 44
Dead Boy Detectives star Ruth Connell is enjoying the joys of late motherhood at the age of 44. She recently opened up about not having things happen at the right time in her life.
Ruth Connell has been used to things not going according to her plan in her life. Whether that’s on the professional front or the personal front. But, the Dead Boy Detectives actor has taken all the challenges head-on, whether it’s a late breakout role or embracing motherhood at the age of 44.
Ruth Connell on embracing motherhood late
Ruth Connell would be the first to admit that her life didn’t pan out exactly according to her plan. She planned to go to a drama school, but she didn’t. She planned to get her breakthrough in the entertainment industry earlier than it actually happened, and she definitely planned on becoming a mother earlier than it happened for her.
But as they say, good things take time. For Ruth Connell, welcoming her daughter Margaret at the age of 44 turned out to be a blessing, despite it not being according to her plan.
"Nothing in my life has ever happened at a time I thought it would," Connell told PEOPLE in a recent interview. She continued, “It's interesting to me that both this show and Margaret both took about five years to gestate and come through."
The actress is happy to be celebrating both these personal and professional achievements at the same time that she even broke one of her strictest parenting rules in the excitement for her upcoming show.
"Rob and I already decided that Margaret is not getting a phone until she's a teenager. However, the trailer for Dead Boy Detectives got released last week and I couldn't help it … I try not to look at my phone whilst I’m with her but I watched the trailer, and she was mesmerized," Connell said in her interview, adding, "It's the first thing she ever really watched."
